Hi Eytan, thanks!
Per your comments:
1) I sync to Outlook (just as backup, not for daily usage), and had no issues with the name fields. For what fields did you encounter this?
2) Way better in the E72: combination of Shift (Up Arrow) and Symbol, which are next to each other to the left from the spacebar, so you can change languages using one finger.
3) Another upgrade to E71: providing you have PC Suite installed, and all drivers – USB will charge you phone, similar to N97.
4) There’s nothing like the iPhone browsing, yet. E72 is better than N95, love the keyboard shortcuts (for bookmarking, open url, reload, etc), but it’s not an iPhone. I expected more from the OptiNav in browsing, to be more responsive and quick – accelerate scrolling if my finger is pressing harder or moving faster.

Bavesh, thanks for the comment.
1.) You’re right. I am using the default Messaging (not email.nokia.com), and in the Connection settings there are ‘Always ask’ or ‘Choose one’. Too bad the Messaging doesn’t adhere to the Destinations settings, which gives priority to WLAN over 3G (a most welcome addition that I liked in the N97), and insists on 3G.
2.) Haven’t had the chance of seeing the phone fully charge. Will plug it all night and see the results in the morning.
3.) Sorry, can’t help you with that. Not using Nokia Messaging (email.nokia.com), only the on-board Messaging.

1.) Check if you can force the nokia messaging to use the WLAN / WiFi as priority instead of always connecting to GPRS / EDGE / 3G and ignoring the priority settings in defined access point.

2.) I had the issue with battery charging, for few days it never showed fully charged, it always kept on charging, but yesterday I noticed it has started saying battery charge, remove power plug.

3.) Though nokia messaging works from my phone but I have never been able to check my email accounts at nokia’s email site which is email.nokia.com, it always gives error message that check after some time.

I will add more points, i hope you dont mind….

That’s cool!
I have the E71 and pretty much like it, but… it does have a few problems that bother me:
1) the contacts fields are not the same as th Outlook fields and therefore some phone numbers don’t sync properly
2) switching between languages is not very user-friendly (to say the least…)
3) when syncing to the computer, it doesn’t charge the phone
4) Browsing is way behind the iPhone

Curious to know if the E72 over comes these flaws.
